Today we sit down with one of the wildest, most interesting humans we’ve ever met — explosives inventor, father, and modern-day frontier philosopher Matt Barnett.

From learning gunpowder chemistry at age 7, to accidentally blowing himself up at 14, to raising his kids with freedom, discipline, danger, and creativity… Matt’s life story is straight out of a movie.

In this episode, we dive deep into fatherhood, grit, danger, resilience, building a life around explosives (legally & safely), and what it really takes to become the person you’re meant to be. This is one of the most inspiring conversations we’ve ever had on Two Fun Guys.

If you love wild stories, real men doing real things, old-school wisdom, homesteading, explosives, American engineering, or raising capable kids — this episode will hit you right in the soul.

Brent and Tony are back for a long-awaited solo episode, pulling no punches as they finally open up about the entire saga of their multi-year plunge into Amazon FBA, from the jump to the scam, from sunk costs to soul-searching. 

This is the story of how two driven guys got scammed by a “done-for-you” Amazon service, spent nearly $200,000 trying to fix it, and somehow came out the other side wiser, rawer, and ready to make products that actually matter.

They cover:

• How they got pulled into the Amazon game
  

• Red flags they ignored and how the scam unfolded
  

• The brutal grind to salvage it with expert help
  

• Being attacked by hijackers and dealing with cursed accounts

Tony and Brent sit down with the team from Austin’s Center for Healing and Regenerative Medicine (CHARM) — Dr. David Harris, Dr. Allen, and Director of Ops/Biz Dev Cari Kass — to break down how regenerative medicine is reshaping the future of injury recovery, chronic pain treatment, and aging.

With over 35,000 spine procedures and 125,000+ regenerative injections under his belt, Dr. Harris explains why surgery is often outdated, how your body can heal itself, and what PRP and stem cells actually do.

Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend warrior, or just trying to keep up with your kids (or grandkids), this one’s packed with info that could change the way you think about your health.

Key Topics Covered

What is Regenerative Medicine, Really?:

The CHARM team breaks down how your body can heal itself using tools like PRP (platelet-rich plasma), stem cells, and platelet lysate; no surgery, no implants, just your own biology doing the work.

PRP vs. Stem Cells: What’s the Difference?:

Learn when PRP is enough, when stem cells come into play, and how CHARM customizes treatment based on severity; not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Why Surgery Isn’t Always the Answer:

The docs explain how many joint and spine surgeries are outdated, risky, and often unnecessary. You’ll hear about cases where patients reversed chronic pain and avoided surgery entirely.

The Future of Healing:

We’re joined by the one and only Valentina Riabova (@val_tatboo)—tattoo artist, visual creative, and unapologetic truth-teller. Valentina doesn’t hold back as she shares the unconventional path that brought her from Russia’s hyper-critical art schools to opening her own tattoo studio, Sharp Objects, right here in Austin. But tattoos are just the start.We ecplore the ways her fascination with BDSM overlaps with tattooing, how power dynamics and trust play a role in both, and why navigating pain—both physical and emotional—can be a transformative experience. She also opens up about living with bipolar disorder, ADHD, and how finding balance is a constant, evolving process. This episode’s a wild, insightful ride blending art, kink, mental health, and what it means to live creatively without apology.Links & Resources Mentioned:Tattoo Studio: Sharp Objects Tattoo, located at South Congress & Saint Elmo, Austin, TXShibari Beginner Resource: Search "Single Column Tie" tutorials on YouTubeRecommended Book: Power exchange and leadership dynamics (title not specified—referenced by Valentina)More Valentina Riabova:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/val_tatboo/Chapters:00:18 Valentina’s first tattoo, why she removed it, and early doubts01:17 How working with different artists improved her skills02:01 Growing up under Russia’s harsh art critique culture04:13 The link between BDSM and her love for tattooing05:10 Tattooing as power exchange and consent07:58 Opening Sharp Objects in Austin and building her team12:15 How wellness and sobriety are reshaping tattoo culture14:13 What makes tattoos last and why artist skill matters most20:14 Discovering Shibari, rope basics, and bondage as art26:00 Sub-drop, aftercare, and the reality of emotional fallout34:22 Thriving under pressure and her ADHD-driven creativity36:03 Bipolar disorder, meds, and what led her to seek help41:02 Willpower myths, hedonism, and thoughts on altruism42:00 Reincarnation, simulation theory, and what comes nextSub and follow the podcastSpotify: ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/twofunguyspodcast⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/twofunguyspodcast⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@twofunguyspodcast⁠📢 Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts!

Brent and Tony sit down with the one and only Della Temple, a comedian, carnivore diet advocate, and social media firebrand. Della takes us on a journey through her battle with an undiagnosed autoimmune disease that left her nearly incapacitated, her struggles with traditional medicine, and the radical dietary change that saved her life.

From eating raw beef and bone marrow to her controversial takes on politics, social media, and stand-up comedy, Della holds nothing back. The conversation dives deep into the world of nutrition, the impact of seed oils, and why the carnivore diet might be the answer for those suffering from chronic illness.

The episode also touches on her past as a comedian in LA, the culture shock of transitioning from a liberal mindset to conservative values, and the backlash she receives online. And if that wasn’t enough, we get an inside look at her fascinating family history—including her father’s past as a bank robber and his transformation into a respected figure.
